How to Use Special HTML Editing Software

I want to take a minute to discuss the special software
out there for creating and editing web pages. First, I am a
big fan of these helpers, I use them myself. But, I first
learned to program websites in SimpleText/Notepad, something
that comes in very handy.

None of these applications, even the most expensive ones
(I use Front Page Enterprise which is one of the most
expensive ones), can do everything you will
want your pages to do. Some image will be in the wrong spot.
A piece of text, despite trying every add-in your program
has, still won't turn the right shade of purple. At those
times, the only solution is to write and modify the page
yourself.

At two in the morning, when you are struggling to get a
table to display correctly, you'll be thankful you know the
code - trust me.
